2020 was shitty for me job-wise to say the least. Took a position in Jan for a competitor of wife's company doing NDT on concrete (previous profession) and was laid off due to the 'rona in May. Took another opportunity working as a PM for a friend's high-end garage door and gate manufacturer in OC and was laid off just before Dec (he couldn't keep up on payroll). Wasn't paid out until after Valentines day of this year. I have been slowly coming to realization that I just need to go into biz for myself long term and be in charge of my own earnings and destiny (I hate that term lol).
Been welding for years as a hobby and side gig out of my garage and I love doing it. Just enrolled at Cerritos college for the welding cert program and start in a few weeks in summer session. Buddy hooked me up with the head instructor there and he made sure I didn't miss anything during enrollment.
Wife is a financial controller for a big Demo outfit in Santa Fe Springs and we live in LBC. My plan is to get this cert out of the way and either take a job as a welder or look into starting my own biz. Not sure if CA is the best state to do it in or not lol but I have to start somewhere. Long term plan is to get the hell out of here and end up somewhere better like everyone else
Im 36 yo and wife is almost 42. What would you guys do if y'all were me? Im glad I have some sort of plan to get out of this crap but I need to start learning about my options. Sorry about the run on sentences im on my 5th crispy boy LOL
